Plain-language summary
A total of 13,276 SGLT2I and 36,544 DPP4I users (total n = 51,460; median age: 66.3 years old [interquartile range (IQR): 58-76], 55.65% men) were studied (follow-up: 472 [120-792] days). After 1:2 matching (SGLT2I: n = 13,283; DPP4I: n = 26,545), SGLT2I users had lower incidences of dementia (0.19 vs. 0.78%, p < 0.0001), Alzheimer's (0.01 vs. 0.1%, p = 0.0047), Parkinson's disease (0.02 vs. 0.14%, p = 0.0006), all-cause (5.48 vs. 12.69%, p < 0.0001), cerebrovascular (0.88 vs. 3.88%, p < 0.0001), and cardiovascular mortality (0.49 vs. 3.75%, p < 0.0001). Cox regression showed that SGLT2I use was associated with lower risks of dementia (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.41, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.27-0.61], P < 0.0001), Parkinson's (HR:0.28, 95% CI: [0.09-0.91], P = 0.0349), all-cause (HR:0.84, 95% CI: [0.77-0.91], P < 0.0001), cardiovascular (HR:0.64, 95% CI: [0.49-0.85], P = 0.0017), and cerebrovascular (HR:0.36, 95% CI: [0.3-0.43], P < 0.0001) mortality. The use of SGLT2I is associated with lower risks of dementia, Parkinson's disease, and cerebrovascular mortality compared with DPP4I use after 1:2 ratio propensity score matching.

Key findings
- A total of 13,276 SGLT2I and 36,544 DPP4I users (total n = 51,460; median age: 66.3 years old [interquartile range (IQR): 58-76], 55.65% men) were studied (follow-up: 472 [120-792] days).
- After 1:2 matching (SGLT2I: n = 13,283; DPP4I: n = 26,545), SGLT2I users had lower incidences of dementia (0.19 vs. 0.78%, p < 0.0001), Alzheimer's (0.01 vs. 0.1%, p = 0.0047), Parkinson's disease (0.02 vs. 0.14%, p = 0.0006), all-cause (5.48 vs. 12.69%, p < 0.0001), cerebrovascular (0.88 vs. 3.88%, p < 0.0001), and cardiovascular mortality (0.49 vs. 3.75%, p < 0.0001).
- Cox regression showed that SGLT2I use was associated with lower risks of dementia (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.41, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.27-0.61], P < 0.0001), Parkinson's (HR:0.28, 95% CI: [0.09-0.91], P = 0.0349), all-cause (HR:0.84, 95% CI: [0.77-0.91], P < 0.0001), cardiovascular (HR:0.64, 95% CI: [0.49-0.85], P = 0.0017), and cerebrovascular (HR:0.36, 95% CI: [0.3-0.43], P < 0.0001) mortality.
- The use of SGLT2I is associated with lower risks of dementia, Parkinson's disease, and cerebrovascular mortality compared with DPP4I use after 1:2 ratio propensity score matching.

How this study scored 74/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a cohort study following people over time. Scored zero for randomized / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multicenter collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 43 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 74 out of 100.
